The first Dutch General Inspection Service for Agricultural Seed and Seed Potatoes (NAK) report about the number of tonnes of seed that has been certified until now, almost shows an identical figure compared to last year.
The Netherlands Potato Consultative Foundation (NIVAP) has renewed its website: www.potato.nl. Country manager Eerik Schipper tells us that the site is presently in accordance with the latest it-views.
On 9 and 10 November 2006, the Dutch seed potato companies will be presenting all their varieties, new, promising ones included. The Netherlands has been the home for potato varieties for many years in the eyes of other countries. That's why the variety presentation will have a strong international character.
The agricultural sector is being challenged to be more efficient with water. This is what René van Diepen, Director of the Dutch Potato Organisation (NAO), sets out in the 60th anniversary issue of Potato World Magazine.
